This Episode Is for You If:

- You feel confused by wellness advice online

- You’ve tried all the protocols and still feel off

- You want to know what health trends may backfire

- You’re ready to trust your own body more

In this brutally honest solo episode, Nurse Practitioner Stephanie Baubie breaks down the current healthcare and wellness trends she discourages. As an integrative nurse practitioner, Stephanie explains why so much online wellness advice lacks nuance, context, and clinical understanding. She shares how popular trends like aggressive detoxes, protein obsession, supplement stacking, fasting, cold plunges, and one-size-fits-all protocols can sometimes worsen symptoms instead of helping. Most importantly, she reminds listeners that healing is not about doing more. It is about learning what your unique body actually needs.

In This Episode, You’ll learn:

- Why some health trends worsen symptoms

- The truth about detox reactions

- Why protein is not always the answer

- How optimization culture can hurt women

- Why rest may be more healing than discipline
